Python Job: Data Science Mastermind

WE'RE LOOKING FOR DATA SCIENCE MASTERMINDS!

We need some magical data scientists to help us change the way the world moves. If you love a challenge, are passionate about technology, and are full of spark, energy, and ambition, this could be the dream role for you.

To be clear: this is no ordinary software engineering role. We’re looking for someone:

• Who stands out and who can contribute big things working alongside our dynamic team of technical wizards.
• Who wants to be a problem-solver, a planner, and a doer.
• Who brings energy and star-quality into work.
• Who is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive culture that values our people’s different viewpoints and experiences, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnicity, religion, or disability.

In return, you’ll be surrounded by:

Teams of rock-solid software engineers, technologists, futurists, and dreamers who are changing how people think and feel about cars.

An environment fast-paced and 100% agile, which prioritizes autonomy, teamwork, interaction, and resilience. Organized into Scrum teams and projects typically consist of one or more teams sharing a common development, configuration management and continuous delivery environment.

Superstar data scientists need superstar projects:

• from autonomous driving to electrification,
• from car-sharing services to vehicle connectivity,

Critical TechWorks operates at the cutting-edge of the BMW Group’s technologies.

You’ll work closely with the business stakeholders to design and implement data integration architectures while achieving cost-effectiveness, high performance, and simple maintainability, with as many source technologies as you can imagine. From the most common to the most exotic ones.

You’ll create meaningful data solutions that will support the creation of new business value. To achieve this mission, you’ll always be curious and enthusiastic about using advanced architectures and technologies to solve problems and inspire others to see the benefits.

Whatever you’re working on, here’s the lowdown on the technical skills you’re likely to have:

• Experience in technical software engineering, good scripting, and programming skills with at least one programming language (Python, Scala) and proficiency with data science libraries (e.g. Pandas, Numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, sklearn).
• Experience with data querying languages (e.g. SQL).
• Experience working with public cloud platforms, especially AWS, and according to technologies and services is a plus (e.g. Apache Spark/ AWS glue, Apache HIVE/ AWS Athena, Jupyter/ AWS Sagemaker, ML-LIB).
• Experience with IaC such as Terraform is a plus.
• Expertise with quantitative analysis, experimentation, and data mining.
• Advanced experience in applied statistics, Machine Learning, or related fields.
• Experience in analyzing and visualizing complex statistical data is a big plus.
• Experience in automotive data processing / data science is a big plus

And also:

• Experience in agile project teams (e.g., according to Scrum) with changing requirements and framework conditions as well as working with the Atlassian Tool Suite (e.g., Jira and Confluence).
• Ability to work internationally with other developers and product owners on designing, implementing, deploying, testing, running, and operating simple and complex data pipelines.
• Ability to distill problem definitions, models, and constraints from informal business requirements; and to deal with ambiguity and competing objectives.
• Experience with Continuous Integration and Delivery tools (e.g. Git, Jenkins, JIRA, Gerrit).
• Excellent oral communication and writing skills (English).
• Availability to travel abroad for short periods, as required.
  
• German skills will be a plus.
